Saudi security forces cornered a suicide bomber who was attempting to blow himself up in the Grand Mosque in Mecca. That is the single most important holy place in all of Islam. Sunnis, Shiites and all other Muslims hold it to be holy, and yet, an Islamic terrorist was trying to blow it up. That's like a group claiming to be religious Catholics trying to blow up the Vatican or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It just makes no sense.
Perhaps the hope of the terrorists was that by destroying the Grand Mosque, the Muslim population of the world could be roused into action of some sort. It's a bizarre sort of logic, however; it relies on there being no proof of who carried out the attack and acceptance that the attack came from elsewhere.
It is truly hard to imagine that this has happened.
